Inner Provisions at Mahanaim

Neville's Inner Vision

Notice how the scene places David in a camp of rest and safety at Mahanaim, not as geography but as a state of consciousness. Shobi, Machir, and Barzillai are your faculties—compassion, resource, and steadfast shelter—coming forward to support the dreamer. The beds are not merely physical; they symbolize a restfulness of the mind that accepts the I AM as host. Basins and earthen vessels represent purity and receptivity—empty of fear, ready to receive higher impressions. Wheat, barley, flour, and pulses are the varied sustenances of thought, the diverse ideas that nourish your inner life: courage, security, patience, charity, and unity. The abundance demonstrates there is no lack in your inner kingdom when you acknowledge the unity of all life. This is the law of generosity and neighbor-love enacted within the psyche; you align with those who serve you by your belief in your own wholeness. As you dwell in this image, you awaken a state of grace that invites others to come near, bringing what you require and affirming your shared wholeness.
